I took delivery of a 2007 XL Denali, a special order from the factory on June 20, 2006. I have to say I have never owned a vehicle that was such a pleasure to drive. No problems, rattles, wind noise, paint (as has been reported here), DVD (did not get the navigation system as I can find my way), an exceptionally satisfying experience each time I took the wheel. Prior to the events related below, the truck had less than 2000 miles on the odometer. At shortly after midnight, August 7, my wife and I were rudely awakened by firefighters and police. My Denali was burning in my driveway. I had parked it at around 4:30 PM the previous day, with no indication of problems. It took nearly an hour to put out the flames. Virtually the entire front-end of the truck was burned up. Flames reached the height of a telephone pole (as evidenced by the dead leaves on my oak tree). Fire & arson investigators concluded that "cause accidental, electical wireing flaw". My local dealer; very sympathetic and helpful, providing me a free loaner so that I could get to work. GMC Corporate, beaureaucratic, defensive, and virtually no help at all, stating that weeks, or months could expire prior to their investigative conclusion, and, a "buy-back" offer. If you own this model, PLEASE have your dealer check the electical harness. Check the main fuse to insure that it is the correct type for the job. After talking with the fire investigators, I believe that this incident was a fluke, resulting from some assembler installing an incorrect fuse, and not a design flaw. However, in case my conclusion is wrong, it is better to be safe, than dead. Verification of these happenings are available if wanted. Pictures as well. Be safe, Hugh Byars |
